The protrusions on the side of its face remind me of a Manta Ray, and how it has almost the same shaped protrusions that are used for funneling more plankton into its mouth...I'm guessing here they offer some sort of Aerodynamic benefit.
Regardless, that is one bitchin' Maserati...Neptune would be proud

Gorgeous car, and a much needed dose of added performance, but...... way overpriced. I mean, really, who are they kidding?? $200K for this thing?? That's absurd.
